Deadpool 3’s Story Before Disney Bought Fox Revealed

Deadpool trilogy actor Karan Soni reveals that Deadpool & Wolverine almost had a different Marvel story altogether prior to Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox.

At this year’s SXSW, Screen Rant exclusively chatted with Soni about his new movie, A Nice Indian Boy, where he also spoke a bit about his upcoming return as Dopinder. Following the release of the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer, it turns out that Soni had no idea the footage was coming, as he revealed how he found out about it:

I didn’t even know it was coming.They’re not telling me anything, which is good. Honestly, to bring it back to Roshan [Sethi], on our first date I recapped the plot of Deadpool 3, which I wasn’t supposed to. This was the Fox version, which didn’t get made because the studio got sold or whatever. But we just met, and I was desperate to impress him, and I just blurted the entire thing. I told him Hugh Jackman was gonna be in it – this was years before.

All to say I didn’t get a script this time, thank God! They didn’t even tell me the trailer was coming out. I got to watch it when it came out, and I’m excited to be a small part of it.

Screen Rant followed up by asking whether Soni could share what the initial story was going to be for the third Deadpool movie, and the actor revealed the following:

Yes, I think it’s online a little bit, so I can. It was going to be originally a roadtrip movie where Deadpool tries to save Christmas, so we all go to the North Pole.

A Nice Indian Boy will have its world premiere at SXSW on March 12.
